These are the times....
This weekend a couple of girlfriends and I decided to meet at a Colmado to play cards (Spades of course!). A Colmado is the equivalent to a convienant/ corner store, where everyone likes to hangout at the end of the day. This being the Dominican Republic, things got a little more interesting as the night went on. This particular colmado was more lively than usual. It was packed with people hanging out, dancing, and singing. As you probably guessed, they weren´t too happy when we decided to brake out the cards to start a game! All of sudden, we were the center of attention. We were known as the ¨Americans who brought playing cards to the colmado¨ the whole night. We didn´t really understand the big deal at first, but we realize quickly after 4 guys interrupted our game, threw our cards to the floor, and asked us to dance! I´ve never danced so much merengue, bachata, and salsa in all my life......Great times!
